Boys Program Coordinator: Just want to mention and recognize the following people who have stepped up and worked way beyond expectations to help provide hockey for all of the C Bantam players:
Phil Schenkenberg and Colin Crandall who have both spent their time attending USA Hockey certification classes so that they can be registered and eligible to help on the ice and on the bench.
Mark Rupp and Rich Sonterre who have helped coach this team through the transition even though they have no children on the team and are coaching other teams.
Bruce Mason who has tirelessly worked to add players and to think of all creative ways to entice players to join this team.
Mike Rundle who, in his first year back, has taken on a much larger role than he originally intended.
All of these people represent positive actions by adults to make the game available to kids. IYHA is lucky to have people like this.
Girls Program Coordinator: 1. I'll be scheduling a meeting in January to discuss future of girls program with Irondale & MV girl's coaches, presidents and girl's coordinators.
2. Congratulations to Rich Sonterre - Liberty Mutual is proud to announce the 2009 Responsible Coaching Winner's Circle!

I am going to the High School girls Hockey game this Saturday from 1:00- 4:00 to have a table with cookbooks.
Tournament Committee ~ Thanksgiving results not finalized yet. The January tournament is almost here!! We have been filled since before Thanksgiving Tournament. I am working on getting volunteer slots ready to be sent to all the Team Managers.
Potential Partnership Committee: Dormant.
Website Update:
· Discussed what is needed to make communication around goalie clinics better. A new distribution list for goalies will be created which will allow for targeted email and reminders. With all clinics, need to make sure there is an even split of clinic time between the teams. Kevin said he has a spreadsheet that does that.
· 8U girls are now split into 3 teams and that will make it a little more complicated for communicating the Mounds View Association information. Torri will work with Mike Nundahl.
· Reminded the board of the Boys High School Youth Hockey night on January 21st. The board directed Torri to send out an association-wide email reminding everyone of the Randy Bortot Pancake Breakfast and the Girls High School Youth Appreciation Event, both on December 19th.
· Need team pictures for the IYHA Website Trophy Gallery for all years – also discussed the trophy case at the SuperRink. Kevin will talk to Irondale High School's carpentry shop. In the meantime, we might need a volunteer to take pictures of each existing trophy for the on-line trophy gallery.
· Scheduling items of note – clarified process for putting ice up for sale. Discussed the 2 hour blocks of ice for the 1-1/2 hour games. Discussed the 8U ice schedule for the rest of the season.
· Discussed registration numbers to date. As of December 17th, 275 active registrations but that will change before the end of the season – Initiation can still register throughout the season.
· Updated fundraising totals presented at the meeting will be posted in the Fundraising section of the website
New Business: None.

NEXT BOARD MEETING: Wednesday, January 20, 2010 6:30PM AT NEW BRIGHTON FAMILY SERVICE CENTER

ADDENDUM TO MINUTES - eNEWSLETTER
President's Message
Winning seems to be a common theme for Irondale Youth hockey in recent weeks.
Girls 12UA WON 3rd place Champion
Bantam A WON the Tournament Championship
Bantam B WON Consolation Championship
PeeWee A WON 2nd place Champion
PeeWee B WON Consolation Championship
Squirt A WON Championship of Governors Cup
This is great news for IYHA. We even have a team that is undefeated. Our Squirt C's are 6-0. Congratulations to everyone that is playing. I wanted to say thank you to all the players for their hard work, the coaches for time and energy, parents and family for the commitment, and to the volunteers that make this a great association. I continue to be amazed by the great people that we have within the association.
Hats off to Monica Crandall and Cheryl Mason for leading us through another successful tournament. The volunteers came through and we left no slots open. That was my first tournament as President and it was a great experience. The other Associations seemed very impressed. Please do not forget we have another tournament opportunity in January and then a District and State tournament to get your tournament hours fulfilled.
I see the outdoor rinks are getting flooded and are starting to open. There seems to be a standing game on anyone's night off at Hanson among other local rinks. This is the time of year when the kids that skate outside make huge strides in skating and stick handling. Make sure we get the kids out there at any opportunity. Older players make room for the younger and give them an opportunity to learn from you in a game of shinny. Throw sticks in the middle and let the games begin. Make sure you try some stuff on the outdoor rink that you might not be able to try in other areas. It is an opportunity to be Ovechkin or Crosby. We need to continue to use these rinks so the Cities will keep them open.
Finally keep playing hard and having fun. I think everyones expectations are continuing to rise. We need to make sure we all are doing what we can to make this an enjoyable experience for the kids.

When stress strikes, women are said to turn to their social ties for support, while men are supposed to become aggressive. But new research finds that these gender stereotypes don't always hold true.
Don't miss these Health stories
More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

- Report questioning salt guidelines riles heart experts
- CDC: 2012 was deadliest year for West Nile in US
- What stresses moms most? Themselves, survey says
- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
In fact, men under stress are more likely to trust others, behave in a trustworthy manner and to share resources, a new study finds.
Earlier research has suggested that when under stress, men take a "fight-or-flight" approach, becoming more aggressive, while women are more likely to "tend-and-befriend," reaching out to others. The new study, published May 16 in the journal Psychological Science, finds that stressed men are also tenders-and-befrienders.
"Apparently men also show social approach behavior as a direct consequence of stress," study researcher Bernadette von Dawans, of the University of Freiburg in Germany, said in a statement. [ 6 Gender Myths Busted ]
Stressful situations
The researchers recruited 67 male students from the University of Zurich to test their responses to stress. About half of the men were put under stress by public speaking and by having to complete a tough mental-math test. The other half mimicked these activities in a laid-back way, completing a stress-free group read-along and an easy counting task.
After being sufficiently stressed or unstressed, the participants played a series of trust and sharing games with real money at stake with another group of volunteers. These games involved making choices about how much to trust a partner, whether to earn the partner's trust or betray them, and whether to share or hoard money.
The men also completed a simple roll-of-the-dice gambling game to gauge how aggressively risky they were willing to be in a non-social context.
During the whole experiment, researchers monitored the men's heart rate and the concentration of cortisol, a stress hormone, in their saliva.
Easing stress through social behavior
Despite the stereotype of stressed-out men as aggressors, stress actually increased men's kind and gentle behavior, the researchers found. The higher the men's heart rates and cortisol levels, the more trusting, trustworthy and generous behavior they exhibited in the games. In other words, stress made men friendlier.
There was no difference in anti-social or risk-taking behavior between the stressed and relaxed men, the study found. In the gambling game, for example, stressed participants weren't any more likely to take big risks than the non-stressed guys. That means that the stress response is specific to social behavior.
The study does not allow a direct comparison of men and women's stress coping mechanisms, because only men were included. Nevertheless, the researchers wrote, the findings reveal that tend-and-befriend is not exclusive to women.
"From previous studies in our laboratory, we already knew that positive social contact with a trusted individual before a stressful situation reduces the stress response, study researcher Markus Heinrichs of the University of Freiberg said in statement. "Apparently, this coping strategy is anchored so strongly that people can also change their stress responses during or immediately after the stress through positive social behavior."

You've probably heard us say we want to fill your home with music, but what does that look like? And what does it sound like?
We're launching the Sonos at Home series to answer those very questions. We get that sometimes it's inspiring to simply see what people are doing with their Sonos systems: how they've setup certain rooms, how it's changed their listening habits, and how it's making listening to music throughout their home easier, and more enjoyable.
We're thrilled to kick off this series with Justin Boreta of The Glitch Mob. Watch the film below as Boreta shares how Sonos has changed the way he listens to music. Take a tour of his LA home, and sit with him in his living room as he tests his Sonos Sub using Can't Kill Us, from their newest record Love Death Immortality.
Let us know what you think of the video or share a link to your own Sonos at Home video in the comments below. And stay tuned as we share more stories from friends whose Sonos experience exemplifies what we're here to do: fill your home with music.

A campus memorial service will be held Sunday, Sept. 7, to celebrate the life of Hope College professor John T. Quinn, who died on Thursday, June 19, while running near the campus.
The service will be held in Dimnent Memorial Chapel beginning at 3 p.m. ET. A reception will follow in the atrium of the A. Paul Schaap Science Center.
Dr. Quinn, an associate professor of classics who had been a member of the faculty since 1995, had been running alone during the noon hour when he collapsed. He was 45.
Dr. Quinn taught Latin as well as the two major languages of Roman Egypt: Greek and Coptic (Egyptian). His research interests included the translation of ancient texts. He took his students on study tours to Greece and in 2004 led an alumni tour that explored Italy's Roman past. During his career he was supported in his research by grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the U.S. Department of Education, the Fulbright-Hayes Group Study Abroad in Ethiopia and Eritrea, and the Consortium for Inter-Institutional Collaboration in African and Latin American Studies.
He received the B.A. from the University of Notre Dame (1984) and the M.A. (1986) and Ph.D. (1994) degrees from the University of Texas at Austin.
Dr. Quinn lived in Holland. He is survived by family in the Chicago area.
A funeral mass was held on Tuesday, June 24, in Park Ridge, Ill.

Generation Revolution by Raymond Scannell
Monday 21st November – Friday 9th December 2016
Graffiti Theatre Company is delighted to announce details of their specially commissioned production Generation Revolution – Raymond Scannell's new, exciting and provocative play. Generation Revolution is a quirky take on rebellion, inheritance and identity. It is where magic realism and history blend.
What is 'a rebel'? What is a 'rebel act'? And what happens to the children of the revolution, to those who inherit the legacy?
Eleanor (Fiona Lucia McGarry) is a rebel – against family, against school, society norms, against everything. Given a book written by the daughter of Terence MacSweeney, she sets off on a gothic quest for answers to her questions.
Directed by Emelie FitzGibbon with an original soundscore, digital mapping and projection by Cormac O'Connor, set design by Olan Wrynn and costume design by Deidre Dwyer, Generation Revolution is a theatre experience not to be missed. Suitable for audiences 15 years +

Ain't Nothin' Like Dame Judi Dench
The 'Philomena' star and likely Oscar nominee doesn't know how to grow old
Dave Bedrosian/Geisler-Fotopress/AP Images
En español | In need of some inspiration? Look no further than Dame Judi Dench.
The British actress is poised to receive her seventh Academy Award nomination for her role as an Irish woman who seeks the son she was forced to give up for adoption in the just-opened Philomena. "Dench gives a performance of grace, nuance and cinematic heroism," raved the Times of London.
Sign up for the AARP Leisure Newsletter — and get movie reviews, great games and more delivered to you every month
Not bad for someone turning 79 on December 9. Even more impressive is that Dench didn't become an international movie star until she was in her 60s. She was too busy commanding the London stage for more than a half-century while building a reputation as one of the finest interpreters of Shakespeare since Sir Laurence Olivier.
Getty Images
With her fashionably short silver hair and penetrating blue eyes, she gloriously defies the adage that age is a deterrent for actresses when it comes to longevity in the film business.
In fact, her younger costars often look upon her in awe. It's a natural response, perhaps, given that two of her best-known roles are as Queen Victoria in 1997's Mrs. Brown (her first Oscar nomination) and Queen Elizabeth I in 1998's Shakespeare in Love (her second and the source of her lone win).
But as her Philomena costar, Steve Coogan, 48, discovered, this is one dame who knows how to break the ice on the set: Make them laugh. "We'd tease each other, take the mickey out of each other. That makes you comfortable," he has said.
Here are seven ways the ageless Dench sets an example for her admirers, young and old.
1. Don't let ailments keep you down
Dench had knee replacement surgery six weeks before Philomena's London premiere, but the actress informed her surgeon that she was determined to walk the red carpet unassisted. And there she was, strolling in Leicester Square, no cane in sight.
The actress is also coping with macular degeneration, a common late-life eye ailment, by asking Finty, her daughter, or colleagues such as Coogan, who cowrote Philomena's screenplay, to read scripts to her.
2. Avoid being pigeonholed by others
Actor Stephen Fry once declared, "Railings should be built around her so that all may admire her in an orderly and respectful fashion." Kate Winslet, her costar and fellow Oscar nominee for 2001's Iris, claimed she "would work with Judi if I had to be a tea lady hovering in the background."
But if you want to rile Dame Judi, refer to her as a national treasure. "I hate that," she says. "Too dusty, too in a cupboard, too staid. I always want to do the most different thing I can think of next."

3. Wear your age — proudly
As someone who was named one of People magazine's 100 Most Beautiful People in the World in 2007, this tamper-free septuagenarian has little to worry about. Her many wrinkles-and-all close-ups in Philomena are a testament to her enduring loveliness.
Still, she admits to considering plastic surgery. "I'm too old now," she says. "Every time I go to America, I wonder if there is some process where it could all be sucked out and I could be out of there in time for dinner."
4. Find a soulmate who sends you flowers every week
She and Royal Shakespeare Company colleague Michael Williams were friends for years before they wed in 1971. While she was upbeat and outgoing, he was more of a pessimist and dour.
"He was a Cancerian, I'm a Sagittarian," Dench says. "He would say, 'I am always rushing for the dark, you're always rushing for the light. If we hold in the middle, there's a kind of balance.' " He would send her a red rose every Friday for 30 years until his death from lung cancer at age 65 in 2001.

5. Show them who is boss
Forget Pussy Galore. When it comes to Bond girls, no one tops Dench.
When the James Bond franchise was rebooted in 1995 after a six-year hiatus, Dench was hired as the first female to play M, 007's superior, even before Pierce Brosnan was in place as the sixth official actor to play the secret agent. Her character would set the tone in their first movie, GoldenEye, referring to Bond as "a sexist, misogynistic dinosaur." She and Brosnan teamed on three more Bond movies and the actress carried on as M when Daniel Craig took over the lead. She would show him the ropes in Casino Royale (2006) and Quantum of Solace (2008) before M met her demise in last year's Skyfall.
6. Work as long and as much as you can
Dench's output would be astonishing for a woman half her age. She did eight films in 2011-12. That's not even counting plays or TV.
What motivates her? "I just feel I have to keep doing it," she told the Observer last year. She already has her next two jobs lined up: A sequel to last year's surprise success, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, that begins shooting in India in January, and a BBC comedy opposite Dustin Hoffman, based on Roald Dahl's book Esio Trot.
Universal Pictures/Everett Collection
7. Don't close the door to your heart
After the death of her husband, Dench was asked if she could love again. Her response: "It's not something that's ever happened."
But the speculation that began in British tabloids three years ago has proved to be true. She has a new man in her life, wildlife conservationist David Mills, 70.
"It's great to meet someone who shares your sense of humor and interests," she told the Telegraph last month. "I haven't really talked about him, but it's jolly nice to have someone to laugh with."

Safe disposal of excreta is of fundamental importance, not only for the health of the community, but also because of the social and environmental benefits it brings. However, for many low-income communities, particularly in developing countries, installation of a sewerage system, with its high cost and need for a piped water supply, is not a feasible option. For such communities, on-site disposal - dealing with excreta where they are deposited - offers a hygienic and affordable solution.
This book provides in-depth technical information about the design, construction, operation and maintenance of the major types of on-site sanitation facility, from simple pit latrines to aqua privies and septic tanks, with numerous practical design examples. Recognizing that the introduction of on-site sanitation systems involves considerably more than the application of simple engineering techniques, the authors describe in detail the planning and development processes, and the financial and institutional factors that will need to be taken into account. Particular emphasis is given to the need to involve the community at all stages from planning to evaluation, to adapt projects and programmes to the local situation, and to provide continuing support to the community after the system is installed.
Based on the authors' experiences in a number of developing countries, this book will be of interest to a wide range of readers, from engineers and sanitarians to health personnel, administrators, planners and others concerned with improving sanitation in poor communities.

ITHACA, NY—Ithaca College has been named one of the top gluten-free college campuses in the country, coming in at #7 in the rankings compiled by Udi's Gluten Free Foods, the nation's number one brand for gluten-free food products.
Ithaca was cited for its gluten-free pantries and food allergy labeling system. The top gluten free ranking was determined through student testimonials, online reviews and interviews with dining employees.
The college's dining services provider, Sodexo, opened the first gluten-free pantry on campus in one dining hall in 2009, with gluten-free options since expanding to all dining halls as well as catered campus events. All gluten-free food is labeled, and the pantries feature small kitchen appliances, cooking utensils and individually wrapped meals and condiments that diners can use in order to avoid cross-contamination. The college recently added a serving station in one of the dining halls featuring meals free of allergens including gluten, nuts, soy and dairy.
Most of the gluten-free changes on the college's menu came from feedback from students themselves, including the IC Food Allergy Awareness Club. Founded in 2009 as a safe space for people with food allergies, its members work to ensure that all students can eat on campus without fear of getting sick or being left out.
Susannah Faulkner '11 was essential to the creation of the gluten free program at IC. Faulkner worked with IC staff to change the dining hall menu and co-founded the Food Allergy Awareness Club. More about her story can be read here.
Experts estimate that one in 133 people has celiac disease, and some say up to 30 percent of the population has some sort of gluten sensitivity. Ithaca College students and staff continue to work together to accommodate these growing numbers.

Well so after a few weeks without notices here comes a big update and notice. As this update will be the last one that is based on CCBYSA 2.0 data (acutally the same data as last week) I have put a lot of effort in creating maps with as few errors as possible, and best usability.
Contourlines now Worldwide Available:
There are now contourlines for: Slovenia, Ukraine, Turkey, Estonia, Hungary, Croatia, Latvia, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Serbia, Cyprus, Malta, Isle_of_Man, Azores, Faroe_Islands, Liechtenstein, Andorra, Monacco and Macedonia.
And outside Europe: Iceland, Morocco, Madagascar, Israel and Palestine.
I'll still add over the folowing days contourlines for Albania, Kosovo, Bosnia-Herzegovina inside Europe (then all Europe country maps have contourlines) and Somalia, Libya, Tanzania for Africa.
Well and my longtime goal was to provide contourlines for the whole world and with the above list only one big country/continent is missing. Namely Asia. But even with 25m intervals instead of 20m intervals, the full Asia contourlines amount to a whopping 9.4GB or 6GB 7zipped ( get it here ) , but will not integrate it into the map of Asia. You can of course install it into Mapsource/Basecamp/Qlandkarte GT and select areas out of it that you need. Just be careful not to select too much (4GB max size problem, 2000 tiles max on your GPS problem - as Asia contourlines complete is 1160 tiles). There is no installer and I assume if you want to use it, you know how to use them (tdb and overview img are of course included).
Next week I'll upload Asia in three parts (31-80°; 80-130° and 130-180°) so size/download is smaller. Of course this will also not be integrated.
I'm also heavily working on removing the few bugs remaining in Austria/Germany (and consequently Alps) contourlines. For France this is done already so the contourlines of France for this update have to errors less.
Other Improvements:
I spend quite a lot of time to iron out errors, especially on the address search (e.g. address search in Berlin, Hamburg, Bremen or Wien should work now as expected). So address search should work better on all Europe country maps. Also I used a european coastline file, so sea has less holes (and I hope no flooding at all). I too again went through most used keys for natural and landuse, and included some common misspellings and some new values. Other things I added were some more food values (e.g. swabian food), natural=col/natural=saddle and scenic=yes for autorouting priority.
Well and also other errors have been corrected over the last few weeks (e.g. up to middle of March, if you selected to include a contourlines only map, but not integrate the contourlines into the map, the contourlines only map would be blank and other small annoyances). Also some improvements to the Desktop layout were done and I did further work on the naming of skislopes and included big skislopes also again into the Velomap.
BTW: many European countries have by now already very very good coverage. In quality OSM maps have always been great, but also in data quantity in many countries second to last generation of Garmin maps have been overtaken. E.g. Austria is 225MB now including contourlines, vs the best Austrian map of Garmin (Topo Österreich 1.11) at only 170MB - as the newest Topo Austria is including so much junk data that it became unusable. Even with autorouting data excluded at 179MB, the Openmtbmap Austria is still bigger than the Topo Austria 1.11. Also Germany with currently 1.3GB is approaching the 1.55GB of the Topo Germany v2/v3 (which is more or less identical if the Digital Elevation Model is taken out). France is similar and in the BeNeLux the quantity of OSM data is anyhow mostly superior to any other topo maps.
Oh yeah, and I haven't forgotten the promised tutorial videos. They will come pretty soon....
Future Updates under Odbl:
Well now the change to Odbl data is more and more complete. Soon Geofabrik should go online with "cleaned" new data. As there will be many many holes and data quality at least for the first few month degraded, I will leave the CCBYSA maps of tomorrow online for the next 3-12month (depending on the country, if needed longer). If There is a chance to get country extracts of CCBYSA 2.0 from FOSM I will use that data to update the CCBYSA 2.0 maps sporadically also in future.
In order for you to find the separate maps, as soon as I have rendered odbl compatible maps, I will setup a new download page dedicated to odbl based Openmtmaps/Velomaps. I excpect this to happen next week.
Incompatibility of Velomap and Openmtbmap on newer GPS devices if same country is sent both times including contourlines
Please note, as there were quite a few people reporting errors, I assume that this is due to sending both the velomap and the openmtbmap of the same country both times including contourlines.
Please Support Openmtbmap and Velomap by Donating some coins...
As it's a lot of work to run Openmtbmap and Velomap, and keep everything up to date and up to best possible technology, I ask you to donate some coins toward it if you haven't done so yet. Simply donate a bit after your next install of openmtbmap/velomap when you see the donation page. For people who already donated money, and want to prolong their account I'll soon set up a separate page for them. Also you will be reminded to stock up by email before your account expires and instructions on how to prolong it (7-14 days before it runs out).

The Digium H8 Series are high-performance, cost-effective hybrid analog and BRI telephony interface cards providing the capability to seamlessly integrate mixed-mode environments in a single device. Use the telephony card selector to identify the card that fits your requirements.
The H8 Series are versatile devices used for connecting to the PSTN. This is accomplished with analog lines connected to trunk (FXO) interfaces, analog handsets connected to station (FXS) interfaces, and digital lines connected to ISDN BRI interfaces. The H8 Series supports all three types of connectivity on a single card through the use of Digium's specialized telephony modules for FXO, FXS, and BRI. Used in conjunction with Asterisk®, the H8-series cards can deliver a wide range of voice applications including IP PBX, VoIP Gateway, IVR platform, Conference Bridge, Voicemail, and more.
Like Digium's analog and single-port PRI cards, the H8 cards utilize Digium's VoiceBus™ technology. VoiceBus technology allows the H8 cards to use an industry standard bus-mastering PCI interface, as found in millions of PCs worldwide, to maximize system compatibility and eliminate system conflicts. Additionally, the H8 cards can improve voice quality in troublesome echo situations with its support for Digium's G.168-compliant 128ms cancelling VPMADT032.
The H8 Series are half-length, full-height cards supporting Digium's existing single-port FXS (S110M) and FXO (X100M) modules as well as Digium's existing quad-port FXS (S400M) and FXO (X400M) modules. New with the release of the H8 cards is Digium's B400M four-port EuroISDN S/T module. The B400M sets a new standard for BRI connectivity in the Asterisk market with its support for software-selectable mode (NT or TE) and line termination. The B400M requires no jumpers for operation, regardless of mode or termination.
The H8 is available in universal 3.3/5.0V PCI format as HA8 and in PCI-Express x1 format as HB8.

Bell and Denk: What a way to spend a snowy night (music review)
When we learned we were getting complimentary tickets for the Joshua Bell and Jeremy Denk concert, my wife, herself once second fiddle in the Lane High School orchestra, seemed more than usually excited. "That's second chair violin" she corrected.
Looking at Bell's promotional posters at the Paramount Theater, I began to understand her excitement. The guy is drop dead beautiful.
A prodigy, Joshua Bell got his first violin at age 4, played with the Philadelphia Orchestra at age 14, and recorded his first album at age 18. A web search to find the best violinist in the world doesn't render any firm conclusion, but Bell's name is always among the top candidates, and Bell's own website crowns him a "classical music superstar."
Playing with him was pianist Jeremy Denk, an avid chamber musician, who in 1998 won both the Young Concert Artists International Auditions and received a prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant.
Now I haven't gone to a fiddle concert since I drove my Chevy van to the 1974 World's Championship Old-Time Fiddlers Convention in Union Grove, North Carolina, where the crowd seemed equally divided between bluegrass fans, hippies, and narcotics agents. By contrast, the February 10th Paramount concert was attended by a more serene and well-heeled crowd–- though many of those heels were clad in boots due to the winter weather.
In interviews, Bell comes off as charming and self deprecating. He famously allowed the Washington Post to film him busking during rush hour at a Metro stop with his instrument, the famously stolen "Gibson Stradivarius."
On stage, Bell is more formal than he seems in interviews. Bell and Denk walked out onto the stage, and without a word, they began.
The program included Sonatas from Bach, Greig, Schumann, and Ravel. The Grieg Sonata was so physical that three quarters through Bell's bow became noticeably frayed, but he snatched the loose horsehair clear during a short piano interlude. The Ravel sonata was the favorite of my musical companions.
After a short intermission, they played Schumann's Violin Sonata No. 1 in A Minor, Opus 105. This was mostly quiet and introspective, with short exhibitions of virtuoso.
Then came Ravel's Sonata for Violin and Piano. My musician friends liked this last piece the best. I found it difficult to understand but technically brilliant.
Despite the fact that Bell is arguably better known than Denk, they play easily and equally together. The appreciative crowd did not let the record-breaking snows prevent them from almost filling the ever elegant Paramount.
Walking to our downtown home from the concert in the snow was a coda to a warm, comfortable, and relaxed show. Thanks Josh and Jeremy. Thanks Paramount.

Bell is a brilliant talent, and may well come across as charming and self deprecating, but some who have played with him and know him might think otherwise
It was a great concert -- completely entertaining and musically interesting. I was enthralled.

I wrote an article for the Te Kura June 2013 Link Up magazine (see page 18) on digital citizenship. This magazine goes out to students and whānau.
The article is cross-posted here.
Digital citizenship: Keeping safe online
If you use the Internet, mobile phones and other devices, you are responsible for how you conduct yourself online. You are a digital citizen.
A digital citizen needs to:
- Use technology appropriately
- Respect and protect themselves
- Respect and protect others
- Respects and protects intellectual property.
How can I keep my children safe online?
Children and teenagers need support and guidance in keeping safe online and acting responsibly. Communication is key. Children need to feel comfortable that they can talk to you about what is happening online without being judged. Monitoring what your children are doing online is important, but it is not about spying on them. These simple suggestions might help you and your children feel more comfortable:
- Make sure that your children have access to the computer or devices in an open space—not behind the closed door of their bedroom.
- Sit down regularly with your children and discuss what they have been doing online.
- Let your children know that they can talk to you if something happens online where they feel uncomfortable.
- Discuss with your children how they can protect themselves and feel safe online.
- Talk to your children about the importance of privacy, dignity and their identity. Discuss how what they post now could impact on their future.
How can I keep myself safe online?
It's not just children that need to keep safe online. Adults also need to conduct themselves in a safe and responsible manner online. So what can an adult do to stay safe online?
- Think carefully about what you post online. Remember that your children also have to live with the consequences of what you post—that cute photo of your toddler in the bath may not be what they want shared with the world in the future.
- Remember to regularly check your privacy settings on the websites you visit (eg. Facebook, Twitter, Google accounts etc).
We need to work together to keep ourselves and our children safe online.
For more information about keeping safe online, check out:

Focus Media jumps on offer to go privateAugust 13, 2012: 1:39 PM ET
Shares of Focus Media (FMCN) spiked Monday after the Chinese company said it is considering a $3.7 billion deal to go private from a group of investors that includes its CEO Jason Nanchun Jiang.
The bid, which offers an almost 15% premium to Focus Media's closing price last week, also includes investors like private equity firms the Carlyle Group (CG), CITIC Capital Partners, FountainVest Partners, CDH Investments and China Everbright.
Shares of the Hong Kong company were up nearly 8% in afternoon trading.
Focus Media has been in the spotlight since last November when short seller Muddy Waters accused the company of fraudulently overstating the number of screens in its advertising network and claimed that Focus Media may have overpaid for acquisitions to hide its losses.
Shares initially plunged following the allegations, but have since rebounded as Focus Media has refuted the firm's charges.
As a committee of independent directors formed by Focus Media's board considers the offer, StockTwits users weigh in. There is a healthy dose of skepticism, but some traders appear hopeful that a deal would get done ... which could be bad news for anyone still shorting the stock.
longshorttrader: Initial chatter I'm hearing is that the $FMCN financing is solid and that political considerations trumping economic ones.
saveme: $FMCN one day deals and next day changes ...we can't believe all on this company... let'see time will tell..
OptionsHawk: $FMCN another leaked China deal; traded 29,000 calls Friday, nearly 6X average
MichaelComeau: Congratulations to the folks who bought $FMCN August and September calls on Friday!
Event_Trader: @Street_Insider $FMCN going private? Fosun holdings has been aggressively buying shares since the Muddy Waters reports targeted the name...

| 13.7°C Belfast
Four weeks on from the time Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 took off, the mystery of the plane's disappearance remains as deep as ever.
International Air Transport Association chief Tony Tyler spoke for many this week when he said there was "disbelief" that the plane "could simply disappear".
And everyone will echo his sentiments that a plane "must never again go missing in this way".
The four weeks since the plane flew off from Kuala Lumpur have seen non-stop speculation, plenty of theories and an intense search of vast amounts of ocean.
Many countries and top politicians have been involved, with everyone trying to be as reassuring and as informative as possible.
Sometimes it has seemed there has been a break through in the search, only for hopes to be dashed. There has been talk of hijacking, sabotage, pilot error, and plane malfunction, while police have conducted more than 170 interviews with family members of the pilots and crew members.
The search for the plane has been of epic proportions, with nations united in their determination to track down the aircraft.
First, seas around Vietnam were scoured. Then several areas in the Indian Ocean west of Australia were examined, with the area finally narrowed down to an 85,000sq mile area around two-and-a-half hours flying time from Perth in Western Australia.
Through all this, the families of those on board have suffered the most. For a time some harboured hopes that, after all, their loved ones were safe and that the plane had diverted, for some reason, to dry land.
For days the conflicting news of the plane's whereabouts caused anger among the families. Eventually they were told that the plane had crashed in the southern Indian Ocean and there were no survivors.
But as long as no wreckage has been found, the agony goes on for those with loved ones on board, especially as there has been speculation that the exact cause of the tragedy may never be known.
In the meantime, Malaysia's prime minister Najib Razak has said that the search will not stop until answers are found, while Australian premier Tony Abbott has described the search as "the most difficult in human history".
What are sure to emerge from the MH370 tragedy are improvements to aircraft tracking and passenger data. As Mr Tyler said: "Accidents are rare, but the search for MH370 is a reminder that we can never be complacent on safety."

Strategic Social Marketing There is a significant difference between operational social marketing and strategic social marketing. Operational social marketing seems to be the topic that most people discuss. That includes things like how to sign up, how to make a post, how to make friends, etc. Strategic social marketing is about your goals and how to create results. Most small businesses fail to use social media at all. If they do use social media, they are uncertain as to how […]

U.S. actor and director Kevin Spacey said he sees opportunity for expanding film making in Africa, Asia and Europe.
Spacey spoke about his international outlook during a brief visit to South Africa Saturday for the premiere of a local short film he helped produce and in which he stars.
With backing from a whiskey company, Spacey ran a contest to find talent from the United States, Russia and South Africa.
U.S. & World
A script from each country was chosen, and Spacey starred in and helped produce the three films, including South African Alan Shelley's "A Spirit of a Denture," which was given a red-carpet premiere in Johannesburg.
The 26-year-old Cape Town writer-director's movie is about a workaholic dentist who gets a visit from a pirate.
Spacey recently starred in "Inseparable," by Chinese-American director Dayyan Eng. In the movie, which was filmed in China, Spacey plays an American expat who befriends a Chinese man played by Chinese-American actor Daniel Wu who is bogged down by work and marital problems.
"There is no doubt that as you start to look around the world, you start to look at the Asia-Pacific region, you start to look at what's happening here, you look at what's happening in European cinema, there's a lot going on," Spacey said in Johannesburg.

Brice Feillu steps out of his brothers shadow today to bring the honor of a stage win to his family and team. Feillu was part of a nine-man
break that whittled down on the mountain top finish in Arcalis. Initially looking weak, Feillu surprised all by jumping halfway up the above category climb. He held on to take the stage. The rest of the break straggled in behind him. Contador fired the third shot in the battle for Astana preeminence (the first being the time trial – expected & second Lance's crosswind attack – on the margins). He took it upon himself to attack rather than cover attackers in the most blatant self-serving move to date. Outside of the politics, it was a brilliant move. He clearly has the legs to challenge the best.
As it happened: At about 45km a stable break formed to include Gutierrez, Martinez, Riblon, Nocentini, Kuschynski, Kern, Pineau, Feillu and Frohlinger. The highest placing of the group was Nocentini at 3:13. As such none were considered a threat by the GC contenders and were allowed to go up the road in the name of stabilizing the peloton. The group extended their lead to more than 12 minutes over the next 140km.
The peloton largely stuck together with Astana taking the helm as if they held Yellow. Saxo's absence from the front was telling relative to their expectations of Cancellara. With 25km to go, Astana started to turn up the dial as Paulinho, Popovych and Zubeldia set a blistering pace. As they fell off one by one, the pressure ratcheted up but the gap had not fallen enough to clear all of the break riders from the GC standings. The GC chase group, including all the favorites, continued to grab back time rapidly but was running out of real estate. Ahead in the break, Feillu jumped at 5.5km fracturing the group in the process. The GC chase heavy still with Astana riders stuck together until the Cadel took a shot. He was marked rapidly but seconds later Contador took off. Contador in his trademark acceleration pealed off the front leaving the chase in the dust. He grew the lead steadily to the line putting distance all the favorites including his coleader, Lance.
Contador came close but did not gain enough time to garner the yellow. The GC did shake up a little as the break rider, Nocentini, held enough of a gap to put himself in yellow. Contador leaps Lance with Leipheimer and Wiggins rounding out the top 5.
When interviewed, Armstrong, Leipheimer and even the director Johan Bruyneel said that Contador was off script. He was expected to work with the team as a group and prepare to cover the moves of the GC threats. Contador's was rather guarded in his after race interview. He said he was testing his legs and was hopeful to put some distance on his competitors. As if heeding Hinault's words in commentary this morning, he effectively threw the gauntlet down.
Other Riders in the GC group look very good. Though none has truly played their hand. Cadel Evans jump at the 2km mark showed excellent form though a straining chase group including Andy & Frank Schleck, Bradley Wiggins, Levi Leipheimer, Tony Martin, Lance Armstrong, Denis Menchov, Carlos Sastre, Vladimir Karpets and Christian Vande Velde were able to marked him. Team Garmin continues to looks strong with a strong performance by Wiggins and Vande Velde. I think this group was content to shake out their legs in readiness for the next two mountain stages. There is as they say, a long way to go.
I'd love to be a fly on the wall on the Astana team bus tonight. Things will probably get heated. The individual and team expectation seem to be at odds. Compounding the problem are matters of trust. I wonder if Contador thinks the director favors Lance and as such is holding him back. When riders are expected to sacrifice for the team, resentments are bound to follow especially when rolls are not defined. This seems like Lemond/Hinault all over again i.e. the senior statesman vs. the talent. Were Contador to have earned the Yellow Jersey, Lance and the other riders' options would be limited. They would be expected to fall in line and support their rider. As it is, the riders will feel less encumbered by prescribed strategy especially in the face of Contador's defection from the team. It will be interesting to see what face is put on this in the morning.
Now the final matter for today, what the heck is up with Boonen? He can't seem to catch a break in the last three days.
- Stage 5 – two flats
- Stage 6 – wreck
- Stage 7 – another wreck
- Not a single sprint point to date.
I'm throwing all the mojo I can muster at Booney to overcome his poor fortune and get in the mix.

Physicist Models Humanity as "Heat Engine" Argues Difficult to Decrease CO2
ScienceDaily (Nov. 24, 2009) — In a provocative new study, a University of Utah scientist argues that rising carbon dioxide emissions -- the major cause of global warming -- cannot be stabilized unless the world's economy collapses or society builds the equivalent of one new nuclear power plant each day.
"It looks unlikely that there will be any substantial near-term departure from recently observed acceleration in carbon dioxide emission rates," says the new paper by Tim Garrett, an associate professor of atmospheric sciences.
The study -- which is based on the concept that physics can be used to characterize the evolution of civilization -- indicates:
* Energy conservation or efficiency doesn't really save energy, but instead spurs economic growth and accelerated energy consumption.
* Throughout history, a simple physical "constant" -- an unchanging mathematical value -- links global energy use to the world's accumulated economic productivity, adjusted for inflation. So it isn't necessary to consider population growth and standard of living in predicting society's future energy consumption and resulting carbon dioxide emissions.
* "Stabilization of carbon dioxide emissions at current rates will require approximately 300 gigawatts of new non-carbon-dioxide-emitting power production capacity annually -- approximately one new nuclear power plant (or equivalent) per day," Garrett says. "Physically, there are no other options without killing the economy."
Getting Heat for Viewing Civilization as a "Heat Engine"
Garrett says colleagues generally support his theory, while some economists are critical. One economist, who reviewed the study, wrote: "I am afraid the author will need to study harder before he can contribute."
Garrett treats civilization like a "heat engine" that "consumes energy and does 'work' in the form of economic production, which then spurs it to consume more energy," he says.
Garrett says his study's key finding "is that accumulated economic production over the course of history has been tied to the rate of energy consumption at a global level through a constant factor."
That "constant" is 9.7 (plus or minus 0.3) milliwatts per inflation-adjusted 1990 dollar. So if you look at economic and energy production at any specific time in history, "each inflation-adjusted 1990 dollar would be supported by 9.7 milliwatts of primary energy consumption," Garrett says.
Garrett tested his theory and found this constant relationship between energy use and economic production at any given time by using United Nations statistics for global GDP (gross domestic product), U.S. Department of Energy data on global energy consumption during1970-2005, and previous studies that estimated global economic production as long as 2,000 years ago. Then he investigated the implications for carbon dioxide emissions.
"Economists think you need population and standard of living to estimate productivity," he says. "In my model, all you need to know is how fast energy consumption is rising. The reason why is because there is this link between the economy and rates of energy consumption, and it's just a constant factor."
Garrett adds: "By finding this constant factor, the problem of [forecasting] global economic growth is dramatically simpler. There is no need to consider population growth and changes in standard of living because they are marching to the tune of the availability of energy supplies."
To Garrett, that means the acceleration of carbon dioxide emissions is unlikely to change soon because our energy use today is tied to society's past economic productivity.
"Viewed from this perspective, civilization evolves in a spontaneous feedback loop maintained only by energy consumption and incorporation of environmental matter," Garrett says. It is like a child that "grows by consuming food, and when the child grows, it is able to consume more food, which enables it to grow more."
Perhaps the most provocative implication of Garrett's theory is that conserving energy doesn't reduce energy use, but spurs economic growth and more energy use.
"Making civilization more energy efficient simply allows it to grow faster and consume more energy," says Garrett.
He says the idea that resource conservation accelerates resource consumption -- known as Jevons paradox -- was proposed in the 1865 book "The Coal Question" by William Stanley Jevons, who noted that coal prices fell and coal consumption soared after improvements in steam engine efficiency.
Garrett says often-discussed strategies for slowing carbon dioxide emissions and global warming include mention increased energy efficiency, reduced population growth and a switch to power sources that don't emit carbon dioxide, including nuclear, wind and solar energy and underground storage of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning. Another strategy is rarely mentioned: a decreased standard of living, which would occur if energy supplies ran short and the economy collapsed, he adds.
"The problem is that, in order to stabilize emissions, not even reduce them, we have to switch to non-carbonized energy sources at a rate about 2.1 percent per year. That comes out to almost one new nuclear power plant per day."
"If society invests sufficient resources into alternative and new, non-carbon energy supplies, then perhaps it can continue growing without increasing global warming," Garrett says.

Convicted Calif. Serial Killer Arraigned in NYC
Rodney Alcala, a former dating-show contestant who has spent the last 33 years tangling with authorities in a series of trials and overturned convictions, was arraigned Thursday in the deaths of Cornelia Crilley and Ellen Hover.
Hands and feet shackled, Alcala looked thin and drawn as he said only "not guilty" in a steady voice. He wore an orange jail jumpsuit and long gray hair in ponytail.
He was ordered held without bail and is due back in court Oct. 30.
A former photographer with an IQ said to top 160, Alcala was convicted in 2010 of killing four women and a 12-year-old girl in Southern California in the 1970s. He represented himself, offering a defense that involved showing a clip of his 1978 appearance on "The Dating Game" and playing Arlo Guthrie's classic 1967 song "Alice's Restaurant."
While appealing his death sentence in California, Alcala was indicted last year in New York, partly on evidence that emerged during his California trial, prosecutors said. He was brought to New York on Wednesday on a U.S. Marshals Service plane unsuccessfully fighting his extradition to New York.
Crilley was found strangled with a stocking in her Manhattan apartment in 1971. Hover, a comedy writer and former Hollywood nightclub owner's daughter who had a degree in biology and was seeking a job as a researcher, was living in Manhattan when she vanished in 1977. Her remains were found the next year in the woods on a suburban estate. Both women were 23.
Alcala had been eyed in Hover's death for decades and in Crilley's killing for at least several years. New York Police Department detectives investigating her killing went to California in 2003 with a warrant to interview Alcala and get a dental impression from him.
A forensic dentist later found that a bite mark on Crilley's body was consistent with Alcala's impression, a law enforcement official has said. The official was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
The Manhattan district attorney's cold-case unit also conducted new interviews with more than 100 witnesses.
"After more than three decades, the defendant will finally face the justice system in New York for the murder of two victims," District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. said. "Today's arraignment brings us a step closer to obtaining justice for Ms. Crilley and Ms. Hover."
Alcala has been behind bars since his 1979 arrest in one of the California killings. Before that arrest, he also served a prison sentence on convictions of furnishing marijuana to a minor and kidnapping and trying to kill an 8-year-old girl.
After his 2010 conviction, California authorities released more than 100 photos, found in his storage locker, of young women and girls. They said they were exploring whether Alcala could be tied to cases in New York and other states.

Jolt Awards 2014: The Best Utilities, August 05, 2014 The best programming utilities of the year
Productivity Award: JetBrains YouTrack 5.2.1
The world of defect tracking tools has been successively dominated by Bugzilla and, in recent years, by JIRA from Atlassian. A scrappy competitor has been wrestling its way to the top in the last few years and is increasingly gaining traction as an excellent option: YouTrack, made by JetBrains, the same company that ships a variety of IDEs that have won Jolt Awards in the past, especially the IntelliJ IDEA environment for Java.
YouTrack carries many of the same elements found in the IDEs: a remarkably intuitive and elegant UI, a feature set that is complete without ever feeling heavy, and favorable pricing. Like JIRA (and unlike Bugzilla), YouTrack has grown from simple defect tracking to workflow management. The idea being that every defect and every new feature is captured in the tool and from there work for sprints is organized and progress tracked (hence, the product name). It need not be used this way, of course, but the simplicity of the UI makes such an approach attractive.
It supports both Scrum and Lean methodologies and allows you to define the custom fields and workflows that best suit your needs. In addition to the expected email and IM issue notifications, team members can vote on issues to help prioritize bug fixes. The Web-based UI is both desktop and mobile browser friendly, and the integration among other Web services such as TestRail, Zendesk, and OpenID are welcome additions.
Overall, if you are seeking an intuitive and highly capable Web-based project and issue tracking service, JetBrains YouTrack is worthy of your most thoughtful consideration.
